Experts challenge White House line on Iran's influence

FT.com / Home UK / UK - Experts challenge White House line on Iran's influence: "It was inconceivable that Iran had ordered Hizbollah to take Israeli soldiers prisoner. Iran wanted a negotiated way out of the nuclear stand-off, he said. He argued that Israel's fierce retaliation for the abduction of the soldiers strengthened the hands of US hardliners who did not want such a settlement.

Meanwhile, American neoconservatives are calling for swift military action against Iran."
